Teasers for OutcastS:
Spoiler for The past?:
“Is this all?”
“Yes, Lord Inquisitor.’
“Very well, let me summarize what you’ve told us then …”
He briefly skipped through the report once more, making short remarks at some points.
“To tell you the truth I find it extremely hard to believe that we could’ve been missing such major anomaly within the Immaterium all this time.”
“I would say the same at your place, but I’ve seen it myself, experienced it, and that is why-“
“Don’t be so rash, Confessor, the case is quite delicate indeed.”
“I’m sorry, Lord Inquisitor, I understand.”
“By the way, there’s one thing missing in your report.”
“What? Missing?”
“Yes, one thing is missing from your report.”
The Inquisitor put his hands on the table and leaned forward.
"You've mentioned the names of 13 Daemon Lords, right?"
"Yes, 13 holding the most power, but why is this important?"
“Do not interrupt me yet. The Daemon that told you all of this, you've never mentioned that, but which one of those names belongs to him?”
“How? … How do you know he’s one of the Lords at all?!”
Something similar to a grin of satisfaction appeared on the Inquisitor's face.
“Don’t try to hide anything, Confessor. You future has already been sealed. The truth shall be known to everybody.”
The Inquisitor’s voice sounded like coming from the bottom of a deep well, his eye pupils rapidly turning pitch black.
“His name is…”
“My name is…”
The two phrases were spoken simultaneously.
“*********.”
The name echoed in the chamber.
“Lord Inquisitor … you … can’t be ..?”
Spoiler for Back to the main timeline:
“I can clearly see your connection to the powers of Chaos, but one thing about you is strange – you do not seem to serve any one of the Gods. Nevertheless …”
The voice of the hooded figure obtained a more menacing tone.
“… We are not going to take any unnecessary risks. I will say it only once – do not get yourself involved with this case. Otherwise you will not be simply endangering your own life but will also make other people around you suffer. I believe I do not have to tell you the names.”
***
“The task should not be difficult for you at all. We will be taking care of most of the threats while you shall simply get the named items and destroy the rest along with the depot. You are free to deal with the possible obstacles in any way you will find appropriate. The operation will take place in two days and will serve as the indication of our alliance being officially forged. You will be provided with the detailed plans of the building and its surroundings as well as the profiles on everybody you may encounter there. Though you should be familiar with most of them already. Right, *********?”
***
“Sir, we have an urgent report from the Headquarters”, - Sarah entered the room with a worried expression she had never shown before, - “The visual link will be established in a moment – we’re having some troubles with communications due to a nearby Warp Storm.”
“What’s it about?” – Serge wondered if the news were going to mess up his current plans.
“The enemy”, - replied Sarah shortly, - “They’ve made their move, but it’s quite far from here, and … it was S’Zet military base this time. It seems that they’ve taken over the battleship stationed there …”
The way she sounded wasn’t promising anything good.
“How serious is it?”
“It was the flagship, sir.”
***
With an impossible for a regular human’s body move Sirius’ hand stopped the weapon from hitting his face, grabbing it along with the wielder’s arm.
“Looks like TSAB officers do get some basic training in melee combat”, - he said calmly.
Then he straightened his arm, twisting the opponent’s hand in the process.
“But compared to us without your magic you’re quite worthless.”
His free arm made a quick upward motion accompanied by the sound of breaking bones.
“You have lost.”
***
“It would be enough for me to simply delay you here for a while but I have a feeling that you could appear more troublesome than you seem to be, and when I have an opportunity to prevent troubles from happening I use them.”
The hooded figure stretched the right arm forward, though it was still impossible to see its actual hand.
“I will be killing you all right away.”
A weird magical circle of purple color appeared beneath the figure and the smell of sulfur suddenly filled the air.
“Arcesso Ignis Bellua.”
***
Sirius stood at the place of former office building, seemingly not being harmed more than he’d already been before the impact. A raging aura, its color similar to that of the rotten blood, protected his entire body while the masses of steel, glass and concrete around him were being easily vaporized.
“Impressive”, - he uttered, - “At their peak your powers could even surpass mine. But …”
He made several steps forward.
“… at your condition it’s useless now. No matter what you’ll try, you have lost.”
***
Serge felt the taste of iron in his mouth and when he took his next breath the air seemed to be filled with fine sand or some other kind of miniscule grains. He coughed hard and tried breathing through a piece of cloth. That helped but didn’t solve the problem entirely, and he still wasn’t able to sense any magic involved. Attacking recklessly was already proven a poor option, and though Serge was sure that he wouldn’t repeat his unlucky subordinate’s mistake he also couldn’t think of a reliable way to take care of this opponent. For the first time in his entire life he felt so powerless despite not being actually restrained in any way. The logic was telling him that the best solution right now would be an attempt to escape while there was still a chance.
***
The unconscious body fell helplessly onto the ground.
“It’s your own fault”, - narrated Sirius looking down at the defeated opponent, - “Though you’re worthy of my praise – that move of yours was actually able to surprise me. But you shouldn’t have thought that it alone could be enough to take me down.”
He made a short pause.
“And on top of that your priorities during the battle are completely wrong. Therefore, you have lost.”
***
“Hmm, you are hurt?” – The emotionless low voice clearly belonged to the one labeled Cygnus.
“You can see it yourself, there’s no need for my confirmation”, - Sirius answered him in a not so pleasant tone.
“It is quite a rare sight, were they actually that good?”
“Not really.”
“Was it your pride again then? You should give up on it and stop holding back already.”
“Mind your own business. You’ve got what you needed, isn’t it?”
“That is right. We will also execute the back-up plan concurrently with the main operation.”
“Is it really necessary? Who gave the orders?”
“Lord *** *****.”
“What a coward … I still can’t believe someone of his power could be so paranoid.”
“I hate him as well, but we are allies right now.”
“Tch.”
“Would you lend me a hand here? It is quite hard to do when they are unconscious.”
“I believe you’ll manage somehow. I’ll be reporting to Milady. For now, farewell.”
***
“I … am alright, I think. But … who are you?”
“Eeh?” - ****** stared at her friend with a mixed expression of concern and surprise, - “What do you mean by asking me who I am?”
